PEANUT BUTTER CHEWIES
These were a favorite of mine in elementary school in Arkansas. They are very easy to make. My three year old son loves them and they bring back memories for me. They are also good to throw in a zip bag for travel.

Steps:
- Place the cornflakes into a large bowl; set aside. Combine sugar, corn syrup and peanut butter in a large saucepan. Heat until mixture comes to a boil around the edges of the pan, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and pour over cornflakes. Stir gently, until thoroughly coated. Drop cookies, using about 2 tablespoons for each, onto waxed paper. You can use a 2-inch cookie scoop. Let cool. Store in airtight container. Once the cookies have cooled and set, you can either dip the bottom of each cookie in melted chocolate (my favorite way) or you can drizzle it over each cookie.

Tips:
- Use fresh peanut butter for the best flavor. Natural peanut butter is best, as it doesn't contain any added sugar or oil.
- Cream the butter and peanut butter together until light and fluffy. This will help to ensure that the cookies are chewy and not dry.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Stir in the dry ingredients until just combined. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help to prevent the cookies from spreading too much in the oven.
- Bake the cookies at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are just beginning to brown.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
